Surprise package Equatorial Guinea take on Guinea in the third last-16 match at the Africa Cup of Nations. Equatorial Guinea topped Group A ahead of heavyweights Nigeria and Ivory Coast, and stunned the hosts with a 4-0 hammering. They were the top scorers in the group stage with nine goals in their three games as they stormed into the knockout rounds.
Guinea have more AFCON pedigree than their opponents but only made it through to the last 16 as one of the best third-place teams. They finished behind Senegal and Cameroon in a tough group. Equatorial Guinea striker Emilio Nsue – formerly of Birmingham and Middlesbrough – is the top scorer at the tournament and will be the man to stop.
The winners will play either Egypt or DR Congo in the quarter-finals. With kick-off at 5pm GMT, follow all the action from the Alassane Ouattara Stadium.
